| Summary |
This #ownvoices debut about losing and finding family, forging unlikely friendships, and searching for answers to questions bigger than yourself will resonate with fans of Erin Entrada Kelly, Sara Pennypacker, and Rebecca Stead. On the surface, Rosalind Ling Geraghty and Benjamin Burns are completely different. Ro wants to be a rocket scientist but she's reeling from her dad's unexpected death. All she has left of him is an unfinished model rocket they were building together. Benji's dad walked out on his family. Benji loves drawing and is convinced his dad created his favorite comic, Spacebound, but has no way to reach him. After a mix-up brings the two together, Ro tells Benji she wants to help find his father. In return, Benji offers to finish the model rocket with Ro for the science fair. It's a long shot, but Ro figures out a way to reunite Benji and his dad. Then Benji hesitates. Why isn't he sure? Ro would do anything to see her dad again. As the two face bullying, grief, and their own differences, Benji and Ro try to piece together clues to some of the biggest questions in the universe. |
